And I know I made the right decision :thumb:
York accepted me, but I turned it down for Nottingham instead. I was going do the the joint honours Literature and Linguistics course, which looked really good, but I was put off by it being quite a quiet place, and I wasn't that impressed with the campus. It certainly had a very good reputation and is definitly in the top ten university in the county. I chose Nottingham instead in the end, because I preferred the campus, the city was bit more lively and the course was a bit more what I wanted to do (english language and literature rather than linguistics). But York was a very very close second, it was a tough choice. That's why I made this thread!
Nottingham actually wanted slightly higher grades too, even though I thought York would. But they were only slightly different.
- had course I wanted
- not in my hometown
- good academic reputation
I narrowed it down to the six which I applied to which were: University College London, Birmingham, Durham, Bristol, Bath and Nottingham.
Bath seemed too small for me from the feel of it as it is a small campus university.
Bristol had way too many hills, after spending a day there I couldn't walk for about a week.
Durham was quite far away and the offer seemed a bit high. I didn't bother visiting Nottingham (I have since) either.
Birmingham and London both had what seemed like my ideal course in big cities which I like. I went for UCL as I have always wanted to live in London.
